It’s always nice when a good cause and fun automotive design converge, and so it is the case with the cool Ford Transit van you see here. Izzy Paskowitz is a former pro surfer who runs Surfers Healing, a group that works to connect and engage with autistic children using surfing, and his current beach shuttle is a tired old 1998 Ford E-series van. Ford and the famed customizers at Galpin Auto Sports in California teamed up to give him and his charity quite the upgrade, and they took the surfing theme well beyond a simple roof rack.

The overhaul was actually quite simple—look closely, and you’ll notice that the “wood” on the Transit’s body sides is more ’80s Ford LTD wagon than ’50s Ford Country Squire. In fact, everything not painted white is actually a vinyl wrap, including the light and dark “wood” and even the green “paint.” We don’t really care, because the Surfers Healing rig looks awesome, and the color scheme is just about perfect. It would have been cool if Galpin Auto Sports removed the Transit’s hubcaps to reveal the more retro-appropriate steel wheels behind them, but the van’s true cool lies in its new mission: helping Paskowitz shuttle kids to and from a great time at the beach.
